Music has no borders

Drum Runners is listed on several other websites and it costs for some of them to be on there as they have high traffic to their websites. One enquiry on a U.K site attracted the attention of a school in Berlin in Germany and they enquired about the Junk Music Workshops. Originally I thought, they are not a U.K Client and then I thought about it and quickly realised that music and technology have no borders, so here was my reply and it serves as a good reminder as to why I do what I do.

>>>  Hi {name}, many thanks for your email.
The Junk Music Workshops use recycled materials to educate with rhythm and song both an eco awareness and demonstrates lateral thinking to deliver other curriculum subjects such as language, science, mathematics and physical education. 

In essence the Workshops are resourceful in the fact that multiple lessons can be delivered with one fun but educational activity. The evidence behind learning whilst moving is not new and more educationalists are now replacing conventional lesson plans in favour of learning through discovery and expression. In Wales this is being described as "Expressive Arts" and is fast gathering pace alongside Heritage projects which further builds confidence in students and  develops pride and responsibility for local history and places.

I hope this gives you a starting point to the use of junk music workshops as a way to appreciate the range of materials that could be upcycled into life skills to give purpose and meaning to your students.

Best regards
Paul
